This one has always been top of my list.
Not so much the topic, as the irritatingly repetitive and predictable pattern.
The lyrics say "If you don't like the song, turn off the radio", which is even more provocative in a shared office with the radio under someone else's control.

Go on and git ya some.

Not sure if worst song ever, or unappreciated Chinese genius.



Yeah, worst earworm ever. Makes me appreciate the weird-ass Japanese music videos a little more, at least they're more than just noise.

The barf bags are in the pocket in the seat in front of you.

hahaha - I hate this song too - over "anthem'd".

Just a bit of a musical lesson, the synth is tuned. The soaring synth lead is the "hook". Very formulaic.

Heres a bit about it

wiki

The song "The Final Countdown" was based on an old keyboard riff that Tempest had composed as early as 1981–82,[3] on a Korg Polysix keyboard he had borrowed from Michaeli.[1][4] In 1985 bassist John Levén suggested that Tempest should write a song based on that riff.[3] The lyrics were inspired by David Bowie's song "Space Oddity"

And came out around the same time as the bombastic View To A Kill by Duran Duran

for the 1985 James Bond movie of the same name, it became one of the band's biggest hits. It remains the only James Bond theme song to have reached number 1
